There are a lot of FFXIV items on the Japanese e-store already, shirts, towels, pins etc.

None of these items are available to players outside of Japan which goes against what Yoshida has said in a previous interview-http://gamerescape.com/2013/06/17/e3...naoki-yoshida/
He states that he doesn't want items that are region specific, and that not having those available to all regions can turn people off of the game. So then... why can't we purchase the items?

TLDR: When will these items be available outside of Japan? I'm sure I'm not the only player that would love to get their hands on some of this stuff.
